Growing up my mother was an inspiration in the kitchen. She rarely made something the lot of us didn't devour and there a handful of recipes that have stuck with me through all of these years.

My mother made a delicious "Pork chop Creole". hints of spice, juicy bursts of corn and celery,and an overall well balanced flavour, it was definitely one of those recipes I'd lost when I quit eating meat.

Creating this recipe is directly influenced and dedicated to my mother.
